Try to see the humor in it. What does "it's just a lifestyle" actually say about the ones blurting it out? That they are at least as attracted to their own gender as they are to the opposite gender. They're deep in the closet, since I for one wouldn't wake up one day and suddenly be attracted to men.
Oh yes I agree, I do think the most vocal homophobes are usually closet cases themselves.
It's just frustrating, because if people think "it's a choice" it gives them carte blanche to say what they like.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
